After our wonderful four days off in the countryside of Alsace, Germany and Switzerland we got back to Grenoble during a scorcher of a day.  And, coupled with the fact that that incredible pile of French engineering that I rented, you know, the one without the working AC, left us pretty toasty by the time we got back.  So, we decided we had to repair to the cafes to return our mind and spirits.  And of course, they did.

We managed to find a mid-eastern place for dinner.  We just needed to have something quick and uncomplicated.  After all those gourmand feasts we'd been having lately, something a little mundane was in order. 

Then we went out for some serious cafe sitting and people watching.  Grenoble provided some delightful entertainment on all counts. 

And then on the way home, we ran across this slightly modified STOP sign.  We aren't sure what it means.  But, we expect that it will show up in some national museum in the next twenty years and we'll be able to say we were there at the discovery of a great new art trend - or not..
